Germany vs Italy at Euro 2012 semi-final

Germany have a poor record against Italy with just seven wins in 30 fixtures, against 14 to the Italians, and no victories in the past 17 years.

* Even worse for Germany, they have met Italy seven times at major tournaments and have never beaten them. Those include some memorable defeats - 4-3 after extra time in the 1970 World Cup semi-final in Mexico City, 3-1 in the 1982 World Cup final in Madrid and, most recently, 2-0 on home turf in Dortmund in the 2006 World Cup semi-finals.
